  Hmmm... 100,000 books? That's a BIG library! :)

  I was not talking to texture each with a diferent image_map! I think that 
it can work only with a few, distributed randomly. On the attached test 
there are only 8 different image_maps, and they are really little jpg 
files. These are "bare bones" books, only a box and a squashed cilinder, 
but for distant shelves it works well.
